Our orange and white cat, Luna, died last night. He came home yesterday afternoon after being out a few days and he looked a little "off" but I didn't see any obvious wounds or injuries. We woke up this morning and he was laying in the hall cold and stiff.

He must have eaten something bad or caught a disease or something. I just found it weird that he came home to die, don't most animals wander off to die? He must not have known he was dying.

So sorry to hear about Luna. He was a handsome lovely cat.

Most animals keep near home to die. Usually out of the house if they can. But not too far. They often do things like curl up under a deck or stairs against the house. Not sure what an indoor cat would do.

Cats are predators but they are also prey animals. If a cat is unwell enough to look off it needs to see a vet. They hide symptoms until it's so serious they can't. That's a pretty fast change, unfortunately that's how cats do it.
